Real guns and hideout make for explosive theatre

IF you fancy being abducted by disreputable types with real guns and brought to a secret location where your safety feels in question, then a night out at the theatre is the thing for you.

Or so Semper Fi theatre company would have you believe. They stage their show, Adrenalin, at an unknown location in Dublin from this Monday and for the rest of the Dublin Fringe Festival.

The show, an homage to 1970s heist movies, involves meeting on the steps of Dublin’s Customs House, being brought in a blacked out bus to a warehouse somewhere in the city centre, and witnessing a van burst through the door, as gun-blazing gangsters come back from a job.
